I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy s2 i777. But I have it with Walmart Family Mobile service which doesnt offer 3g/4g. Its Gsm unlocked and I don't pay for 4g. So if I want to use internet, either I use my regular network, or I have to use a local unlocked wifi. Is there any way to force unlock, or somehow use my 4g? My phone is rooted if that helps.
If you don't get 4G from your carrier. You can't hack service.

Nope, T-Mobile is a GSM carried and Verizon is CDMA. This phone is only built with a GSM radio.

Doesn't it use AWS? That means technically you could put it on carriers like Cricket and Metro PCS then right?
Nope. Get a droid charge

AWS?
It can be used on any GSM carrier from what I know. I mean, I'm on AT&T.
What do you mean nope? Why
Couldn't you just change the settings to metro pcs or cricket like you can with the evo?

Evo is cdma no sim card galaxy s 4g is gsm with sim card required for use on the network.

Really? I sure as hell didnt know my phone was GSM. You seem to be missing the question completely.
Unless you have a world band phone that has cdma bands plus gsm bands it wont work Verizon blackberries have cdma+gsm some did should i say. Hince why you could go overseas and roam off vodaphone phone also had sim card.
but to answer the queston no
samsung glaxy s gsm no cdma not even compatable with 4g lte
as far as cricket and metro pcs they dont use sim cards so no way to activate the phone on the network.
What is wcdma? My phone says gsm/wcdma

On the moon our weekend are so advanced they encompass the entire week
simply put its not going to hapen end of story... unless verizon goes gsm... doubtfull
Verizon won't go GSM. If they did, it'd be pretty stupid anyway. CDMA implementations seem to be better than GSM.
WCDMA is a worldwide band for connectivity, I believe.
When the Verizon Xoom (eventully) gets the 4G LTE Upgrade, do we have to change our plan? Or do the current plans allow us to use 4G LTE? I can see Verizon being greedy and force us to pay more to use their LTE network.

Has anyone gotten a Nexus S 4G working on Virgin Mobile USA or Boost Mobile? I'd really like to have a Nexus S, but for reasons I'd rather leave unsaid I can't get on with any of the supported carriers. Also has anyone tried using the AT&T version of the Nexus S on AT&T pay as you go? I'd prefer Boost or VMU, but will deal with AT&T PAYG if I have to.
I have my nexus on Boost and love it...just like it was on Sprint. I don't have 4G in my area and won't for probably years so I made the switch.

Did you have to root the phone or did it just work out of the box?
Hi,
Has anyone found a way to force our phones to roam without rooting? I have bad Verizon service at my apartment but good At&t. Thanks in advance.

Or even if rooted?

You do realize that you can't' "roam" from ATT to VZW and vice versa?
ATT uses GSM technology while VZW uses CDMA. ATT has its own SIM card that will not work with VZW and VZW has its own as well.
There is a thread around here about using the VZW SGS3 with international GSM roaming, this requires you to have another cell provider's SIM, so you get a different number. I don't think this would work with ATT as they use different GSM frequencies from the rest of the world.
I don't even think the VZW SGS3 has the correct radio to work with ATT....
I guess I should mention that Altel got bought out by AT&T here and I used to be able roam on their towers using the app Roam Control. But sadly it doesn't work with the S3.

I did find another thread after I responded to you initially: While I am correct about not being able to roam between the 2 networks, you can apparently "switch" to using one or the other... so you would have to swap SIM cards to do this.
Although at the moment, I don't think 3G data is working...

Hey does anyone have any experience with this phone on AT&T or any prepaid versions of AT&T asking for a friend thanks in advance
